Default Resizing 8 gauge hulls

I finally got some imperial sizing wax so I've been resizing 8 gauge hulls this weekend . Its actually pretty simple the sizing die has a A side and B side. One side begins the resizing and the B side finishes it . Im just using a 1 ton arbor press and after I finish the sizing, I use a 3/4" wood dowel to push the case out . They fallout out the chambers like butter .

The Winchester hulls resize pretty easily, the Remington hulls are a different story . You need about the strength of a Silverback gorilla for those lol or a 2 ton arbor press .

I have this wood cap thats relieved on the inside and its about the diameter of the case head. So there its nothing contacting the primer while resizing .

3rd picture is the 2nd step .
